The wait is over, the Salzburg representatives know their opponents in the first round of the ÖFB Cup. The Bulls face a trip to Dornbirn. While Austria face an intra-league clash, Bischofshofen and FC Pinzgau welcome a Bundesliga team. Wals-Grünau will face Austria Lustenau, who have been relegated from the Bundesliga.

The Salzburg representatives were eagerly awaiting the draw for the first round of the ÖFB Cup. Bundesliga runners-up Red Bull Salzburg were drawn against FC Dornbirn by lottery winner Dominik Thalhammer. As is well known, the Vorarlberg club was relegated from the second division last season due to its refusal to obtain a license.

Austria Salzburg coach Christian Schaider was glad not to have picked the Bulls: "Thank God we don't have Red Bull Salzburg in the first round." The Violets will host league rivals Reichenau, against whom the Violets have set their sights on promotion.

Hammer draw for FC Pinzgau
It will also be purple in Saalfelden. FC Pinzgau draws a tough draw and hosts Bundesliga side Austria Vienna. "You can't get any better than this. It's a top team and a traditional club, it's sure to be a real soccer festival," said section manager Hannes Rottenspacher jubilantly about the draw. He will also present a new coach this week: "We still have to sign the contract."
